Explanation:
This can be explained by thinking numbers on the number line as:
Lets take we have to multiply a positive number (say, 2) with a negative number say (-3)
<u>2×(-3)</u>
Suppose someone is standing at 0 on the number line and to go to cover -3 , the person moves 3 units in the left hand side. Since, we have to compute for 2×(-3), The person has to cover the same distance twice. At last, he will be standing at -6, which is a negative number.
A image is shown below to represent the same.
<u>Thus, a positive times a negative is a negative number.</u>

Answer:
27
Step-by-step explanation:
For point (x, y) and slope m, the y-intercept can be found from the equation ...
b = y -mx
b = 0 -(-3)(9) = 27
The y-intercept is +27. The corresponding ordered pair is (0, 27).
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
8x-2y=48, replace y with 4, 8x-2(4)=48, multiply, 8x-8=48, add 8 to both sides to remove the -8, 8x=56 and finally divide by 8 to remove 8 from x, x=7.
X=2 because 5^3=125 and there you are
